by retrofit do you mean putting in OEM D2S HID's into your stock housing or are you talking about just the plug and play kits that use H1 bulbs

not to burst your bubble, but HID's in any stock housing that aren't projectors will result in glare. also, since D2S are MADE for projectors, you will have bad light output, because the focal point for these dont match with the housing. if you want to use D2S bulbs, you should do a retrofit with projectors to maximize the correct use of D2S bulbs

Hey Uhkordguy, did you get yours done at retro-solutions too?

Does anyone else know any other shops that do this?
